Oh la la, I just found out that I missed a bunch of new Erik/Charles because I wasn't a member of
erik_charles! That's such a dreadful thought omg! Good thing I found my way over there and realised what I'd been missing out. So that's one more comm I'm following as of tonight. I think we need for someone to set up a newsletter, guys. Because the thought of anyone missing anything in the fandom just makes me ache! Wait! Is there a newsletter that I don't know about? If there is, please to be letting me know asap? So that I stop missing Important Stuff. Tia ♥
Hey, have you read that article? It's a scan of an interview with James McAvoy done for The Empire magazine. He mentions the sequel to First Class - that is, a possible sequel - and he totally put his finger on a ridiculous and very shallow fear of mine, XMFC-wise, namely the loss of Charles' hair. I'm not even kidding. People who know me know I have issues with hair, don't mind me. And I was wondering, didn't Charles lose his hair when he was much younger in the comic, anyway? Because if he did, technically, they've already veered AU here, right? So they could have him keep his hair for a long time to come yet. If it were up to me, he would keep it until the very last scene of the third film. Even better yet, in a scene after the credits!
Silliness aside and back to the interview, I found amusing James McAvoy's vision of a Charles "playing wheelchair rubgy and kicking the fuck out of people". I just love how McAvoy has been trying to make his version of Charles wilder than his older counterpart; "He's a bit of a monk. What's the opposite of a monk? Let's make him not a monk". One of the things I enjoyed so much with young!Charles was his enthusiasm and out-going'ness. I have a "laughing!character" kink a mile wide and seeing the guy laugh and smile so many times in the film just delighted me to no end. The way he radiated pride and happiness whenever one of the kids - or Erik - achieved something was just the cutest thing. It truly was beautiful to see. Besides, it's always really interesting (and heartbreaking) when someone like him loses this part of themselves, so that's something else I'd love to see in the sequel. How Charles is going to deal with everything that happened.
ETA: Lol and &hearts: How I Met Your Father, XMFC style. Tumblr is having a ball with that pairing, guys, there're so many posts over there!

et coucheront à nouveau ensemble.no subject
Date: 2011-06-20 11:19 pm (UTC)Lol On croise tous les doigts pour qu'ils continuent à coucher ensemble dans les suites ! Ce serait vraiment tragique sinon ;'-(

Date: 2011-06-21 05:59 am (UTC)Vu comment ils sont toujours mariés même dans les anciens films, je ne m'inquiète pas trop pour l'instant.

Date: 2011-06-20 11:04 pm (UTC)But I would love to see him deal with so many losses too. He lost his almost!sister and his best friend. He lost the use of his legs. His allies betrayed him. How would someone like him take so many hits in such a short time. I don't see him becoming bitter, but sad. Serene, but very, very sad. I think he would stop doing anything just for himself, he would lose all his personal joy, and focus everything on others. I think he kinda is the martyr type - where Erik would kill to get revenge, Charles would sacrifice himself for the higher good.

Date: 2011-06-22 08:38 am (UTC)There was another article where James McAvoy spoke about his characterisation of Charles and he mentioned that he'd love to play him all fucked-up in the second film, seeing how he has to deal with so many losses and all. James McAvoys' fucked-up!charles would be a joy to see! He'd break my heart.

Date: 2011-06-23 09:35 am (UTC)I browsed IMDB a bit yesterday afternoon and found out that young!Erik was my favourite character both in Inglourious Basterds and 300! Graaawr! I watched some trailers and clips and now can't wait until next week. I hope nothing comes up to make us stay at home. And too bad that none of the female friends I have here are interested in that kind of movie :( Poor little me :(

Too bad, indeed! I'd rather not imagine not having girlfriends to go see the film with!

Date: 2011-06-23 12:20 pm (UTC)I have to get all of my fandom fix online (or whenever I can meet up with one of my online friends, which obviously is way too little)! It's a good thing I have a boyfriend who is at least interested in the same kind of movies, although he doesn't understand the whole slash thing though :P He must think I'm crazy quite often.
Hey, did you go to Connotations already? I've been wanting to go for years now but still haven't gotten around to it. Guess it won't be for this year again :(

Guess nobody's perfect lol I'm just lucky my girlfriend is a geek and a fangirl and a slasher.
I've been to Connotations once and I absolutely had a blast! I'd love to go again but there's always something preventing me from going. Especially work, actually.

I thought you had gone once, I thought I read about that then. Some other friends who every year. And for me, it's mostly family issues. Tom wants to come along and let me do my thing and spend his days taking pictures of nature and stuff. I'd love to meet you there someday :)
